Produced by Granada Television and aired on ITV, the programme charted the convoluted and unexpected romance between the sharp-tongued and street wise Brenda and a the slightly sappy Malcolm.

The title cleverly alluded to Brenda's (played by Emma Wray) and her sister Pamela's (Lisa Tarbuck) fondness for 'people watching', as well as Malcolm's (Paul Bown) keen interest in birdwatching.

The sitcom's huge success played a pivotal role in kick-starting many of the cast members' acting careers. Some subsequently appeared in popular soaps like EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale.

‘I had my hair’s health measured by BAFTAs hairdresser and the results really surprised me’

We probably think that we have a pretty good idea of what healthy hair looks like: strong, shiny and swishy, right? But what if you could actually measure your hair’s true health, on the inside, and use these results to tailor your hair care routine? That’s the idea behind an innovative piece of technology from Schwarzkopf called the SalonLab Smart Analyzer, currently available in about 20 Schwarzkopf salons around the UK. It features a near-infrared scanner that measures damage deep inside the hair from factors such as heat styling and colouring to show the true strength of the hair as a percentage.
